How to Watch West Virginia vs BYUDate: Friday, Oct. 3, 2025Time: 10:30 PM ETChannel: ESPNStream: Fubo (TRY FOR FREE)

Entering this game, BYU is ranked No. 23 in the country with a 4-0 record overall and a 1-0 Big 12 record. West Virginia is 2-3 overall but sits in a tie for last place in the Big 12 with a 0-2 conference record.

West Virginia picked up a big 31-24 non-conference win over Pitt to close out non-conference play, but that didn’t turn out to be the harbinger of good things to come as the Mountaineers fell 41-10 to Kansas and 48-14 to Utah.

BYU is off to a strong start, especially on the defensive side of the ball, with the team allowing the fourth-fewest points of any FBS team. BYU’s opponents score just 9.2 points per contest. The team dominated its first three games, but had some issues last week on the road against Colorado, eking out a 24-21 victory over the Buffaloes.

This is an excellent college football matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
